Kermit's Revenge

Green Hopped Pale Ale

Fresh from Karl's garden on the day of brewing, this effort was thrown together as a demonstration at the 2015 Greater Wellington Brew Day. The day was great fun and this beer was stunning. So good, we've just remade it using the 2016 hop harvest...

Where the magic happens...

Our small, but perfectly formed little brewery.

Te Aro Brewing Company's brewery is up and running and providing its product to some pretty cool bars, cafe's and bottlestores...

Te Aro's beers get a theme

Iconic Wellington Scenes (artwork by Rachel Walker)

Our brewing department, otherwise known as Te Aro Brewing Company, has a new beer labelling theme. We know how much our customers love both the Wellington beer scene and the beautiful city itself, so we decided to help them do both simultaneously.

We commissioned a series of paintings by artist Rachel Walker, which will adorn both our bottle labels and tap badges... as well as the T shirts and tote bags available online and in store.

Thirsty?

Can't find anything decent to drink?

Then brew your own. With our help, you can brew the best beer you've ever tasted - right in your own home.

Yes, it's cheaper, but it's also more satisfying and, if you don't stray off the track too much, tastes nicer too.

Fresh Wort Packs

Ready made home brew

The easiest way to make delicious, fresh, craft beer in your own home is by using one of our fresh wort packs, which we brew weekly.

Simply pour the pack into a fermenter, add in the yeast and hops provided, and let nature do the rest. Within 3 weeks you'll be ready to bottle or keg one of the best beers you've every had.

Prices vary depending on the specific beer's ingredients, but by joining our wort club, you can save around 25% of the cost by re-using your container. Just remember to keep it clean!
